Mount Forest Coffee Culture Grants A Wish

A Mount Forest woman, Trish Wake, got her wish Thursday thanks to Coffee Culture.

The eatery is running a program which gives its coffee drinkers a chance to make a wish for Christmas.

Company spokesperson Azim Akhtar says a lot of wishes are coming in but Trish’s jumped out at the judges.  She only wished to “give back to the community."

So Thursday afternoon it was free coffee and Trish Wake and the "elves" went to a number of institutions in Mount Forest, ranging from VON to schools and police, handing out surprise coffee and treats.
